Calling all cars, we have an APB out on a Sunday night Music Series!

Johnny's oldest and bestest friend is coming up Friday for his annual 36 hours in Oscoda trip he makes each September. Now, Johnny could move the Music Series to Saturday but that won't work because of the Saturday night Scoreboard Show. Plus that might just be too much entertainment for the nervous system if they ran on the same night. So Sunday night it is. See you then.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with VAN HALEN!

First, on a side note, Google and YouTube and making this harder and harder to put on a weekly Music Series with the way the fiddle-fuck around scraping for pennies. Cut and pastes that no longer work because they want to post the clip to your blog with their name. WRONG. Piss off. Not how this is done.

With that in mind let's get started tonight with 'Runnin' with the Devil'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BLUE RODEO!

Jumping back to 1990 for this one. 'Trust Yourself' up next.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BON JOVI!

Did you know then, the idea for the video for this song, 'It's My Life' was directly lifted from the 1999 German independent film Run Lola Run. A great movie everyone should see. It has been called the Citizen Kane of music videos.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ARETHA FRANKLIN!

So, the story goes that after Mick Jagger covered the Rolling Stones 'Beast of Burden' with Bette Midler (Nothing wrong with that track) it broke some verbal agreement between Mick and Keith Richards on the use of their music. It'd be fleshed out and discussed, apparently unlike the Mick and Bette collaboration.

So Keith, being Keith decided the only thing to do was to one up Mick. You have to climb the ladder a good bit to do better than the Divine Miss M. Keith was feeling frisky apparently and climbed the whole damn ladder to the top and asked Aretha Franklin to work with him on 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' which is simply incredible.

Want the best, use the best.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BECK!

OK music people, define a genre for this song. Johnny loves to hand out challenges, Tell us your ideas in comments. Beck with 'Tropicalia' up next.

Sunday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with TEARS FOR FEARS!

Truer words have never been spoken. 'Everybody Wants To Rule the World' taking us out on a Labor Day weekend 2023!
